Finally got round to upgrading my phone (Samsung i5801) to Android 2.2. It was relatively easy, following the how-to at xda-developers. The result is stunning, the phone is much more responsive now.

Update 2011-02-08: After updating a second time (to the latest JPF firmware) with the SIM and memory cards in the phone, all my apps and settings were gone, this did not happen the first time (JPB firmware with SIM and memory removed).

Some minor roadblocks:

Having to use Windows (for Odin)

Having to install a driver in Windows to acces the phone, this step was missing from the how-to. Admittedly i used an ancient Vista.
